No, the Krohkite addon doesn’t have a configuration window to change shortcuts in the Kwin scripts section. And there is no need for anyway, as all shortcuts are in a central place of KDE shortcuts.

BTW back in KDE 5 I did that, used an alternative tiling window manager (I think it was i3wm) instead KWin. It worked, but it had its own set of problems. Not sure if it is still possible, but based on my prior experience I wouldn’t recommend it anyway. Instead the tiling script / addon Krohkite should be used, as people recommend. I use it myself (and I am a tiling window manager guy) and it works well, as it is well integrated and smooth experience in KDE.
That’s manual tiling with the mouse. It’s not the same as auto tiling like PopOS does.
Also available through KDE Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts > [Get New…] . Installing it through this method should automatically update whenever its updated.
You change the shortcuts in the Plasma shortcuts window. Just type in the KDE shortcuts search bar “krohkite” to show matching entries only.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Memory Prices Reach “Shocking” Levels as Manufacturers Are Now Quoting a Whopping 125% Premium, Turning DRAM Into a Full-Blown Seller’s MarketEnglish
11·10 hours agoAs long as you have “enough” RAM and drive space, its not an issue in short term. Just save up for what is coming next until the bubble plops, as you said. However those who need it right now, have mercy with them.
There was a period when KDE 6 was new and the Wayland stuff on top of it, where Kröhnkite didn’t work well. I use it since then as my daily driver and don’t have issues. Off course there might be edge cases and I do not resize windows manually much, in tiling mode. But I use floating mode too and resize windows to my liking and don’t have an issue like that.
BTW there is an fantastic “Dock” mode in Kröhkite, where you can define a window to be a dock that is always visible on the left/right or up/bottom area of all desktops; behaves similar to a normal dock from KDE Plasma. It’s a function I never saw in any other desktop environments or tilers.
Another Kröhnkite user here. I used tiling window managers before (mainly Qtile) and cannot use a desktop without auto tiling anymore.
Kröhnkite: is THE tiling addon for KDE in my experience. There was a period when it was broken and I experimented with other solutions (Polonium worked for a while, but now that thing stopped working lol and Kröhnkite works well again). You just need to setup your keybindings and configure the limited configuration itself. You can also remove the title bars and have colored outline for active window, if that is your thing. But that is not very configurable and is a weak point in my opinion.
Karousel: a scrollable tiling window manager. If that is your thing. It worked fine, I’m just not a fan of this type.
Mouse Tiler: and then there is a new and promising addon script in the works. The main selling point was and is that tiling is done manually and with mouse only. But after lot of request the dev is working on an automatic tiling system, which puts it into my radar. And I hope it will have configurable keyboard shortcuts too. Dev says the auto tiling works already and in the next days it will be updated. Didn’t try it out yet, but looks promising to me.
The Windows UX is horrible. What desktop environment do you use on Linux, that you think that Windows is better? :D
I searched the web and found this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends
Is this app 18+ only or are children allowed to find older boyfriends? How are teens and children protected?

4·24 hours agoAgreed. But when selling the console, most people don’t have the full picture in front of them.

72·1 day agoWhatever happens, the biggest hurdle isn’t the price or the hardware, or even the operating system itself. The biggest hurdle are the available games that work out of the box, specifically the most popular multiplayer games. I don’t think Sony has to worry anything, because the Steam Machine is still PC hardware and that is usually more expensive than a comparable game console. Usually.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - Feb 2026
2·2 days ago- just started Shenmue 3, I’m a big fan of the first two games from the Dreamcast era
- continue playing Sailor Moon: Another Story RPG on the SNES through RetroArch
As you can see, I’m oldschool fan. :D There are so many games installed and available to me, every time the Deck is opened up, I have choice paralyzes.
On a high level, the problems aren’t about the programming language itself; it’s mostly all the surrounding stuff like upgrade issues and the tooling. And in these points, Rust excels in my opinion.

4·2 days agoLTT - Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel tried out Linux, PopOS!. And there was a horrible outcome, where he tried to uninstall or install Steam and the dependencies would remove the entire desktop for whatever reason. Rendering the installation broken and unusable obviously. There was a big warning in the terminal, but he didn’t read and ignored it and continued.
There was lot of debate, but ultimately it was fault from both sides: ignoring warning that explains what happens, and no safeguards from the distro so this bug should not make it unusable.

3·2 days agoLOL fair enough. I guess a more friendly description of that would be “the distro must assume you don’t read everything”. Okay so that makes sense, given what happened.

32·2 days agoFor what in example? I used Windows for 8 years and then from time to time after that, plus helping my brothers computer with modern Windows. I never had to use the commandline. But maybe there are some tasks that requires it, because there is no GUI for. What would that be?




4090 = 0.76%+5090 = 0.37%is approx. 1.7% of the entire Steam player base. Is that true? That is a lot for such expensive hardware. How is streaming from Nvidia GeForce Now calculated? My theory is, that a good chunk of them are streaming and don’t actually own the cards. I wish GeForce Now would be listed too as a platform, at least for those who log into their Steam account in the streaming service.
